Document Summary
As is with any age group is serves, government needs to serve the complicated needs of all, it can"t be selective, nor too supportive or too ignorant of any one particular group. Elderly adults and their circumstances span the same gamut as any other demographic. For instance; elderly who are more secure financially will have the means to better maintain their health, safety, participation in a variety of necessary programs and ensure they are protected physically, emotionally and legally. The challenges are obvious, but the solutions aren"t. Political: voting power of senior citizens and how ontario needs to begin to rethink government issues that will appeal more to senior citizens. Economical: to avoid a loss in revenue from retiring citizens, ontario needs to encourage employment opportunities for seniors more than ever before. Social/demographic: longer life expectancy and higher rates of affluence in our aging population affects other socio-demographic issues.
